IMHO I think everyone is missing the point. You don't tune a Limited to imitate an SRT -- if that were the case, you'd simply buy the SRT and be better off. If you dump $4,000 into a Limited so it can match SRT levels, we SRT owners can simply add another $1,000 and show you tail lights. Hardly a fruitful pursuit.

Instead, you bought a Limited because it offered a very different driving experience (Well, at least the guys with six speeds)

There's nothing wrong with a Limited being a Limited. I still miss mine, to this day. Everything from the compliant suspension, cheaper maintenance, better exhaust note, etc etc.

This year I took my SRT through the Dragon for the first time. And to be quite frank -- I preferred my Limited with the 6MT. It simply is a more engaging experience through the mountain roads. From the lighter weight, to the ability to apply 100% throttle out of each 20mph corner, to the glorious note of the N/A motor winding out in each gear... it was simply a better experience for me. The SRT could blast out of the corners, but only when the wheel was nearly straight. If you dared to mat the accelerator just after the apex, TC would kick in and rob the fun. For some reason, I felt guilty about making the auto trans do my braking for me... it was much more organic with the 6MT.

Instead of aspiring to murder an SRT in a straight line (you won't), rather focus on simply making an already fun car an absolute blast. My Limited with *only* 70 additional horsepower would have been more than ample.

No imitation will be as good as the authentic. So instead of trying to copy the SRT's numbers, make the SRT owners jealous by utilizing low-heat boost, light weight, and six speeds.

You'll make one SRT owner jealous, at least.

Cheers,
